Sonia Delaunay (1885-1979), Wikiperdia entry
here, was a Modernist designer of note who during the 1920s and early '30s focused largely on cloth patterning for women's fashions.
In this post I present contemporary photos of some of her efforts. Of course, they were taken black-and-white because color photography technology was still fairly primitive in those days.
Her patterns are geometrically based. They are also "busy." Perhaps too cluttered-looking from today's perspective. Yet interesting. Take a look.

Sonia even applied her patterns to a car, in this case a Citroën B12.
